This Girl's Awesome Senior Quote Is Going Viral

One of the biggest decisions you will make in your high school career is choosing that single line of text that accompanies your yearbook photo. Okay, so that might be a slight exaggeration, but with a great senior quote comes great responsibility. They are the few words you’re given to define the past four years and pave the way for the next ones. Popular options typically include philosophical quotes, song lyrics, and lines from favorite books. But hey, why not shake things up a bit?

That’s exactly what Rafika Alami did, and now her yearbook picture is going viral on Twitter and Tumblr. "Only reason I wear this is to give you females a chance," the Summit High School senior wrote. "This," we can only assume, is referring to her hijab, a veil worn by some Muslim women. Rafika seems to be suggesting that she levels the dating playing field by shielding part of her beauty with the veilotherwise other girls wouldn’t stand a chance at getting any attention.

Of course Rafika is still winning at life, with confidence and a sense of humor like that, and the response has been nothing but praise, virtual high fives, and a little light-hearted envy. So no pressure, but when it comes time to choosing you own senior quote, good luck topping this one.
